Greenpeace targets forest carbon offsets in California's cap-and-trade
California's forest conservation-based carbon offsets in its climate change legislation may not lead to net reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and could exacerbate social conflict in places like southern Mexico, argues a report released Monday by Greenpeace. But the activist group faced sharp criticism from backers of California's initiative.Fight for Northern Moose - NWF Action Fund Action Center
Moose in northern states are stressed and dying from ticks, brainworms, and liver flukes--all on the rise due to shorter winters caused by climate change. When there is less snow on the ground by spring, the harmful pests live longer and reproduce in greater numbers--threatening the health and survival of northern moose.Shale Vs Coal: The Ironic Twist Of Flawed Climate Policies | The Global Warming Policy Foundation
Even as moose die from impacts of climate change, greedy corporate polluters are fighting to continue dumping unlimited smokestack pollution into our air.
Reuters: Shale gas has jolted traditional roles in the planet’s climate drama, giving cleaner fuel to the United States, whose displaced coal has headed to Europe to pollute the old continent. Britain’s coal use was 43 per cent higher in the first half of this year compared with a year ago.The End of International Environmentalism - Reason.com
[Ronald Bailey] Two decades on, what was once the “most powerful political ideal” on the international scene crashed and burned at Rio +20. The failure of environmentalism as an ideology was inevitable, since it has so badly misconstrued the causes of many of the problems it claims to address. It will be interesting to see in which direction those cherishing a permanent animus against democratic capitalism will now go.EU Energy Chief Warns Of Runaway Green Energy Cost | The Global Warming Policy Foundation
Reuters: Germany must rein in the runaway costs of subsidising electricity from renewable sources or risk overburdening consumers, European Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said on Tuesday.
“We need a speed limit,” Oettinger said, referring to the accelerating cost of funding electricity produced from sources such as wind and sun at above-market prices – a course Germany has chosen to become a low-carbon economy.

ReplyDeleteDoes anybody realize that people in California who will be paying higher prices for energy under AB 32 will be paying it in order to 'redistribute' some of our wealth to Mexico and other countries? In short, California's cap-and-trade is a way to redistribute wealth from the 'North' to the 'South' except in this case, it would be a 'northern' state.
Gotta hand it to the globalist leftists to come up with a clever scheme to provide international welfare payments on a regular basis.
